	The Jousting Tournament in Medieval Times
		In a tournament a knight could enjoy all the excitement, danger and glory of war, with none of the dirt, flies, disease or discomfort.
		Tournaments were generally viewed with disapproval by the Church because they distracted the knights from the crusades, and by the state because of the unwarranted loss of life.
		The other form of jousting in the practice tournament was "riding at the rings", the surviving form of jousting with which we are most concerned.

	Tournament (medieval) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tournament from the Codex Manesse, depicting the mêlée
		Tournaments could include the mêlée, a general fight where the knights were divided between two sides, and later, jousting, a single combat of two knights tilting at each other.
		For the Jousts of Peace held at Windsor Park in 1278 the sword-blades are of whalebone and parchment, silvered; the helms are of boiled leather and the shields of light timber.

	Of the Undertaking of a Tournament
		The principal differences between the tournament mode of engagement and the judicial duel, is that in the duel, the fight is to the death (Note: simulation of "death").
		Tournaments will be planned between two parties a challenger known as the appellant [ 2 ] and a defender known as the defendant [ 3 ].
		This is an attempt to simulate the medieval "jousts of war" in which the tournaments were held during wartime or in the border areas between regions who were not on friendly terms, however, even during these "jousts of war", it was not the express goal of the combatants to kill the opponent.

	Tournaments
		Medieval knights, when they weren't busy enganging in battles or protecting the interests of their lord, wanted to keep their skills honed, and often challenged rival knights to tournaments.
		The first tournaments were mock battles that had more in common with military training than they did as a spectator sport.
		Most medieval weapons could have been used at some point in the competition, from battle-axes and maces to daggers and fists.

	Kipper (medieval tournament) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In medieval tournaments a kipper is a person employed by a knight, usually a vassal of the knight such as a slave, serf or peasant.
		In the early days of tournament fighting it was not much different from open warfare, with few rules and none of the pomp and ceremony of the later tournaments.
		In this chaotic mêlée, kippers were the foot soldiers as far as collecting the spoils of combat (tournament), but it was not their stated function or intention to actually participate in the tournament fighting.

		Imported from France in the 12th century, tournaments were an essential part of military and social life.
		Lances and swords were blunted, but tournaments were a place where reputations were made, so the fighting was hard and dangerous.
		Prizes were given to the winners, and some knights, such as the famous William Marshall, made their fortunes on the tournament circuit, much as a modern rodeo rider might in the American West.

		Dueling, parades and pageants became part of the tournament which was now a pure entertainment.

	Medieval Tournament Project - History for Kids!
		Tournaments were a common form of entertainment for rich people in the Middle Ages.
		A group of knights came together at the castle of some powerful duke or king, and they would spend the day fighting each other for prizes, sometimes one against one, and sometimes in teams.
		Or you might decide to have a non-competitive event, where you all try to pop the balloons together, rather than having teams – and discuss whether we are less interested in competition today than the men of the Middle Ages were.

	Medieval Tournament Prizes
		I think it would be useful for those who hold tournaments in these times to know what sort of prizes were commonly given at the tournaments of the Middle Ages.
		Even the helmets frequently given as prizes in Italian tournaments (Piero de' Medici kept four in his bedroom) were primarily vehicles for elaborate and expensive crests.
		Fortunately, reproductions of medieval jewelry, available through the various museum catalogs and from the merchants and artisans of the Society, are often quite reasonably priced.

		First published under the auspices of the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London in 1919, this text makes extensive use of primary sources: books of rules of the list, descriptions of the pageantry and spectacles involved in specific tourneys, the training of knights, and letters detailing the planning of such events.
		Clephan draws on both French and English sources and explains the development of the tournament from the eleventh century through the sixteenth, not only translating and interpreting the primary sources but offering commentary on the how the knightly ideal was shaped by and in turn shaped such popular entertainments.
